Who dat den?

Young Tim 'Rez' Ebenezer is the baby of the band and won't go anywhere without his teddy bear 'Cecil'. Born in the Charles Dickens novel 'Scrooge 2: When Christmas went bad' he quickly got a better agent and magically transformed into a 'real boy'.

What does he do?

Usually found hiding at the back of the stage behind a barrage of equipment, Tim supplies GD's ethereal sounds and general keyboard duties. The seriousness on his face whilst playing and accessing his sounds via his laptop is just a cover for the fact that he's playing 'Championship Manager' throughout most of the gigs.

Is he a still-life painting?

Although he may resemble a statue while tinkling the plastic, put a guitar in his hand and he turns into a raging maniac hellbent on destroying all in his path. Dave only survived one of the 'Red-Rez' moments by use of his lithe athleticism and a heavy microphone stand. That's why we only let Tim play guitar at the end of a gig. Be afraid.....be very afraid.

Is there a lady in his life I hear you say?

Rez was finally removed from the eligible batchelor list by his lovely new bride Frances in 2006. The public outcry of sadness from his adoring female fans caused quite a stir - but the boy's not for turning, so pull yourselves together girls!

Bit of a technical wiz we hear?

The boy has talent, that can't be denied. During his studies at Warwick University not only did he endure his course but he also ran a small business on the side (www.openlp.org) that provided complicated computer solutions to various things and bits....I think that's what he said. The services he provided are now used by 1000 churches worldwide and has been downloaded more than 30000 times. Clever lad.

Hobbies?

Well he enjoys travelling.....but mainly because he lives in Coventry and has to commute 250 miles every week to rehearsals.

Job?

Yes he does....computery things again....I'm sure it has a proper name.

Serious Bit.

GD have been blessed by the wide ranging talents and general good laughability of Mr Ebenezer. A grade 8 trained pianist and generally clever bloke when it comes to computers, the enthusiasm and drive that he adds to the band has been a breath of fresh air. Just venturing into his 20's we expect big things from this young man...just stand back when he picks up a guitar.
